I give up! Anyone know anything about converting a non op clock to quartz? I contacted Rick at Sunbeam Specialties and he's out and apparently his source isn't making them any more.

There is an outfit with a website called jaguarclock.com. I stumbled across them with a google search. They claim to be able to add some form of quartz timer to the existing mechanism. Know nothing more about them, but might be worth a look.

I think Tiger Tom is still doing them on a batch basis. You would need to check with him. I think he was charging 100 or 150 for the conversion.

Actually I was toying with the idea of getting one to run backwards.

Get it? :D

In the meantime I'll get with Tiger Tom... Thanks again everyone....

I had mine done 4 years ago by Phil Williamson of the Humber Club in South Australia. It always keeps perfect time even though it is stopped and started frequently with battery being isolated when I park the car. I know of another which is in a daily driver Super Snipe that has been running perfectly over 6 years. Phil charged me $A100. PM me if you would like Phil's contact details.

Cheers, Vic

Thanks Vic. I got a PM from another member on one being available.

That's interesting as I cut out my battery every time I park it.
